C & Z was the first food blog I read. Actually it was the first blog I read. It inspired me to start my own blog and changed my world. I have met the most wonderful people through my blog (and through C & Z). My world has been enriched by the friendships I've formed. So thank you Clotilde and happy blog anniversary. I'll be raising a glass...and fork to you this evening._________________Barbara

Hi Clotilde, I'm with Barbara, yours is the blog that introduced me to the wonderful world of blogging. I don't know whether I should thank you or not as I seem to spend a lot of time on the computer instead of doing housework (so maybe I should indeed thank you lol). Happy anniversary.

keep on blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_________________"I've never accepted the external appearance of things as the whole truth. The world is much more elaborate than the nerves of our eye can tell us." - James Gleeson

Happy anniversary, Clotilde, both from me (you've given me so many happy hours of reading and cooking since I discovered C&Z a bit over three years ago) and on behalf of everyone I've cooked for from both the website and the book!

If I ever want inspiration for food... I inevitably come here. I also still cook pasta using the Absorption method because of your recipe. And if it weren't for this place... I would never have met Madame and we wouldn't have a blog either. Truly it is written, blog begets blog!_________________Confusion comes fitted as standard.

Chocolate and Zucchini is an example of what can go really right with the internet.

Before the internet and C&Z, people who were obsessed with food and cooking had to keep it to themselves if they couldn't find like-minded persons within their families, circle of friends or at work. Now there's a place where we can all go and obsess about food together!_________________"Help! Help! I'm being repressed!" --- Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I wonder how long it will be before Clotilde gets an offer to do her own tv show. I imagine it as her interviewing shop owners in and around Paris and then ending it with a cooking segment inspired by the theme ingredient of the show._________________"Help! Help!

any title suggestions?_________________"I've never accepted the external appearance of things as the whole truth. The world is much more elaborate than the nerves of our eye can tell us." - James Gleeson
